SKYROVER S1 wind limit and weather limits

The SKYROVER S1 is rated for wind up to 38 km/h (10.6 m/s · 24 mph · 21 kn), which is Beaufort 5 — Fresh breeze, and for temperatures from -15 °C to 40 °C (5 °F to 104 °F). It positions itself with GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. It came out in 2026.

Weather limits of the SKYROVER S1

When is it safe to fly the SKYROVER S1?

Drone Weather Forecast compares every hour of the forecast with these limits and gives one colour:

• Green — wind and gusts up to 34 km/h (90 % of the limit).
• Yellow — between 34 and 38 km/h: fly with caution, a gust can push the drone past its limit.
• Red — above 38 km/h, or rain, low visibility, too few satellites or a KP index above 4.

Gusts are judged against the same limit as the average wind, and the wind at your flying height is usually stronger than at ground level. The Pro wind profile shows the forecast from 10 m up to 4,200 m.

Cold and heat

The SKYROVER S1 is rated down to -15 °C. Batteries deliver less energy in the cold: keep them warm until take-off and expect shorter flights below about 10 °C.

Weight and registration

The SKYROVER S1 stays under the 250 g line most countries use to decide whether a drone has to be registered and its pilot tested. That rule is national and it changes, so check the one for the country you fly in. Being light costs something in the air, though: the same gust moves a sub-250 g aircraft further, and the flight home against the wind drains the battery faster than the specification suggests.

→ No-fly zones

Flight time in wind

The 40 minutes the SKYROVER S1 is rated for are measured in still air. Wind takes a real bite out of that, and the way back is the expensive part: the drone drifts downwind for free and pays for the whole return. With wind near the 34 km/h caution mark, plan for about 30 minutes and turn back early.

GPS and satellites

The SKYROVER S1 uses GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. For your position, Drone Weather Forecast counts the visible satellites of these systems and warns when fewer than 9 are locked; a KP index above 4 (geomagnetic storm) can also disturb GPS and the compass.

Frequently asked questions

How much wind can the SKYROVER S1 handle?

Up to 38 km/h (10.6 m/s, 24 mph), Beaufort 5. Above that it may not hold its position or fly back against the wind. Drone Weather Forecast starts warning at 34 km/h.

Can the SKYROVER S1 fly in 25 km/h wind?

Yes. 25 km/h is below its 38 km/h limit and below the 34 km/h caution threshold, so the app shows green — as long as the gusts also stay below 34 km/h.

How much does the SKYROVER S1 weigh?

< 249 g (< 8.8 oz) ready to fly, which keeps it under the 250 g threshold used by most national drone rules.

How long does the SKYROVER S1 fly?

Up to 40 minutes in still air. Expect less in wind and in the cold — nearer 30 minutes once the wind approaches its limit.

Can the SKYROVER S1 fly in the rain?

Drone Weather Forecast treats rain above your precipitation limit as a no-fly condition for every model. Check the SKYROVER S1 manual for its water resistance before flying in wet weather.

What is the minimum temperature for the SKYROVER S1?

-15 °C (5 °F); the maximum is 40 °C (104 °F).

→ Can you fly a drone in the rain?

Limits from the manufacturer specifications, as set in the app's drone presets. Always follow your drone manual and local aviation rules.
